So, the other day I was watching some RAW episode (I don't know which one, here in Spain they do not say what are we watching, so it's a little bit hard to guess (I think it was in 2012 New's Year Toast)) and I thought "You've never read a fic about Dolph" so I search if there was any about him and Matt Hardy. I didn't find any so I decided to write one myself.

Hope you'll like it!

"Matt, are you coming or not?" Jeff asked, looking to his brother, who was still in the showers.

"I'll catch you up later at the bar." The oldest brother answered.

"Okay. Whatever you say." Jeff walked away along with John Morrison next to him.

"What's up with your brother lately? He's been acting strange." The brunette asked.

"Yeah I know, but he says it's nothing and you know how he is, when he says it's nothing he won't tell anything." The younger Hardy answered. They got into John's rented car and made their way to the bar the whole roster was going.

Meanwhile, back at the arena a confident Matthew Moore Hardy made his way to the Divas locker room. He knocked on the door and waited.

"Who's there?" KellyKelly asked before she opened the door.

"It's Matt!" He answered. "Is AJ there?" He questioned, smiling at the blond Diva.

"Sure. Just wait. And don't peep." She said.

"You know I'm gay, right?" He reminded her. "Just get AJ here." He rested against the wall in front of the door. Moments later the small diva came outside and smiled at the North Carolinian man. "Hey AJ." He bended over and kissed her cheek, the woman responding to the gesture. "Why did you call me?"

"Need to talk with you about Nick. The girls say hi, by the way." She told him.

He was probably the only WWE superstar with the best relationship with the Divas. He got to knew them: contrary to popular belief, KellyKelly was not only a Barbie girl, Tori was not a **, and AJ was not a selfish, uncaring crazy **.

"What's up with him?" He was not close to the blond but not because he didn't want it, because Nick was always pushing everyone away: the man was living his gimmick 24/7.

"Hum… He has some… self-confidence problems and I wanted to ask you if you could… talk to him?" She smiled coyly, looking up at him.

"Nick? Self-confidence problems? Are we talking about the same Nick?" Matt replied.

"Do you know any other Nick?" She growled. "The thing is he really thinks everyone hates him and instead of dealing with it he just closes himself."

"I see. But why me? Wouldn't it be easier to make Shawn or Hunter to talk to him?" He asked.

"Maybe. But they are not homosexual." She answered, picking a chewing gum from his bag. "Want one?"

"No thanks. I don't see the relation between my sexual orientation and Nick's self-confidence troubles." He said, opening the door for AJ.

"You are such a cavalier, Matt." He rolled his eyes and followed her. "Anyway, the thing is, Nick's gay. And he is so convinced that everyone would reject him that he hasn't told anyone but Big E and me. I tried to talk to him but it's no use so I thought that you could maybe get through his thick skull." She climbed on the Hardy's rented car.

"You do know that he is not exactly the… most talkative person, right April?" He asked, starting the car.

"I know, I know. But… Please?" She made her best puppy eyes and the man sighed in defeat. "Yay! Thank you so much Matty!" She leaned over and kissed his cheek.

"Yeah, yeah… Anything for you baby girl." He said and saw something weird on her, she was squirming in her seat. "Is there anything else bothering young, kid?"

"There is another reason I asked you and not anyone else." She revealed.

"Oh yeah? May I know this other reason?" The female gulped before answering, looking at her nails and muttered something. "He is what? I didn't understand."

"Drinking." She repeated. "No offense."

"None taken." He answered, smiling and pulling over at the parking lot. "Which room is he in?"

"361. Are you going to go now?" She asked.

"Yeah. Is he rooming with someone?" Matt asked.

"Who would like to room with him?" AJ asked sadly.

"Hey, hey, come here." The man gathered her into his arms and hugged her. "I'll move in with him, how's that sound?"

"Great. Thanks Matty." She said and smiled.

"Your welcome, c'mon, let's go." They jumped out of the car and made their way inside the hotel. Matt accompanied the woman to her room. "See you tomorrow. Good night."

"Good night." Matt turned around and started to walk to the stairs when her voice stopped him. "Hey Matt. I whished you had been my Pro in NXT."

"Thanks AJ." That really meant a lot to him. "Really, thanks."

"No prob."

She closed the door to her room and he made his way to Nick's room, knowing that the guy would be in there. He knocked the door and waited.

"Go'way AJ." Dolph said from the inside. He sounded slurred so Matt guessed he was drunk.

"I'm afraid I'm not AJ." He said. "And you better open that door or I'm going to get it open myself." He threatened.

"Go. Away." He repeated.

"Nope."

"Go."

"No."

"Go."

"No. And we can be like this all night, I have a very stubborn best friend, a very stubborn brother and a very stubborn father." He said.

Twenty minutes Matt Hardy spent playing a rhythmic pattern on the door until the blond opened it.

"Told ya. I can open any door." He said and entered inside the room, frowning when he saw the mess. "What the hell did you do in here? Redecoration? Does the hotel staff know it?" Half-joked.

"What do you want Hardy?" He growled.

"See how you doing." He answered, pouring himself a glass of whiskey.

"Why? We have barely ever talked." The blond groaned.

"Perfect. You brought the topic up. So, can you explain me what's wrong with you? You are acting like that stupid gimmick 24/7." The brunette sat down and stared at him.

"I ain't stupid!" He yelled.

"I haven't said that you are stupid, I said that your gimmick is." The brunette point out.

"It's the same."

There we go… Matt thought. "No it's not. I mean can you imagine Shawn always playing on his HBK charac…?" He trailed off and blinked. "That's not a good example. He is just as childish in the HBK character than in real life." He didn't say anything for a couple of minutes until it popped in his mind. "AJ. You and I both know that AJ is not crazy, right?" He didn't answer, just kept looking at him with angry eyes. "Right?"

"Right." He finally answered.

"Because she knows the difference between her real life and her gimmick. Now, the question is, do you?"

"Yes." Nemeth quickly answered.

"Wrong. You don't. If you did I wouldn't be here." The brunette objected, sipping his drink. "Hey, that's really good." He exclaimed. "Where did you get it?" He asked.

"Uh… The liquor store in front of the hotel?" He mumbled, not looking at him.

"You asking me or telling me?" The older teased and then sighed. "Look Nick, I don't know why you act like you do, but you gotta stop this shit." He moved his arm to point the whole room. "And specially the drinking."

"Because you know a lot about drinking, don't you?" It was easy to see that he was trying to hurt him bringing back some unpleasant memories.

"Yeah. Yeah. I do. And that's why I know that if you don't stop you'll find yourself completely alone." He said, playing with his drink.

"I am alone." The blond replied.

"No you are not. You still got AJ, Big E, and your family. They care for you, but if you continue like this, believe me, they will walk away from you and then, you'll be alone. You won't have anybody that will help you in your matches, no one will take care of you if you get hurt, and no one will care about you. Absolutely no one." He concluded as he stood. "And I'm here to help you, but right now, I can't."

"Why not?" The one from Ohio asked.

"Because you don't want my help. Yet." He finished his drink and opened the door. "When you decide that you want it, just look for me." He abandoned the room. The blond didn't say anything, probably shocked.

When he arrived at the bar he went straight to his brother, leaning down and kissing his cheek softly.

"He baby bro. Hey guys." He greeted and the rest just lifted their full glasses.

"Matt! I thought you weren't coming. What took you so long?"

"I brought AJ to the hotel." He said. "And you know how the divas are." Jeff nodded.

"Anyway, come, there is someone who wants to see you." The oldest Hardy didn't ask anything, just followed Jeff to another room, where the rest of the roster was. "Hey, he's here." The one with green eyes said.

"Matty!" He didn't see him coming.

"Adds! What the hell are you doing here?" He asked, pretty surprised to see his best friend in there since he wasn't working any more.

"You are mean. I come here all the way from Tampa just to see you and you receive me like that." He pouted and Matt rolled his eyes. "Vince called me."

"What for?" He asked, sitting down in the only free sofa.

"Creative." He only answered, smirking.

"Oh shit. You are going to be a pain in the ass." Someone said and the Canadian rolled his eyes.

"Shut up Orton. Where the hell were you, Jeff said that you should have arrived like… forty-five minutes ago."

"I accompanied AJ to the hotel."

"Little crazy diva?" He asked.

"Adam shut up. She ain't crazy. Or at least, not more than you." The brunette said and the whole room burst in laugh.

They kept talking for the next two hours, until Mark challenged Matt to participate on the drinking contest they were organising.

"Sure!" He sat down around the table and Adam hugged him from behind. No body minded about that; all of them knew how close they were and how touchy Adam was.

Twenty minutes later only three of them stood: Mark, Matt and Dave. Ten minutes after that they had run out of alcohol and Dave had joined the floor with some others so Matt and Mark decided to divide the money fifty-fifty.

"What the hell is going on there?" Matt snapped when they joined the rest of the roster and saw that Morrison was fighting with some random guy.

"Uh…" Now they were in trouble, in Phil's absent Matt was the one that took 'Mama Hen's' place.

"Morrison! What the hell are you doing?" He quickly went next to the Californian and pulled him up by his black hair. Okay, not Mama Hen. He just had big brother reflects and that included anyone, older or younger than him. "Stop it right now!" He yelled at the man.

"Lemme go Matt!" The one from the West Coast tried to get free, but he couldn't.

"Shut up John! Can someone take him to the hotel room? Last thing we need id to have problems with Vince." He growled and almost everyone sober enough hurried to volunteer. "Mike, Alex, take him, please. And make sure he stays in his room."

"Sure. You want us to take some of them? We have a mini van." Mike pointed where the drunkest ones were and he nodded.

Matt excused John to the barman and then left the bar with Adam, Jeff and Jay. When they arrived at the hotel the Hardy's went to their room.

"Now, are you going to tell me what the hell is going on wit you? You've been acting strangely lately and even the guys are noticing it." Jeff asked, his back leaning against the door.

"Jeff really, it's nothing serious."

"Last time you said that you got fired." He opened wide his eyes, looking at his brother with a dread look. "Are you in trouble Matty?"

"What? No!" he shook his head and motioned his brother to sit down with him. "I'm fine, I promise."

"Then what is it?" Jeff took one of his big brother's hands into his own.

"Vince has proposed me something." He said.

"Yeah? And what's that?"

"Another season in NXT. Do you think I should say yes?" He asked, looking at his baby brother.

"You always said that you had a lot of fun back then, why not go now?" He asked, straddling his brother's lap.

"I don't wanna leave you alone." The oldest Hardy mumbled.

"Matt, you have not been down these last weeks because of that, right? You know I can take care of my own, plus you have Mark and Shawn to keep an eye on me." He said, smiling. "C'mon Matt, I don't want to hold you back. Not again. You've done so much for me and you've given so much for me, now it's your time. So please, please, do everything you want, go to NXT, I'll be fine, I promise, ok big brother?"

"Ok, Jeffro." This Matthew did smile and hugged his brother, kissing his cheek. "We should go to bed already."

"Yeah. Good night Matty."

"Good night Jeffy."

They switched off the lights and Matt stared at the ceiling, thinking about his previous chat with Nemeth: the boy was so broken and he didn't even know it. He would have to talk to both AJ and Big E. But tomorrow, he was tired right now.
